OK==repeat after me= emails that say I have won money from a sweepstakes i never entered or emails that say i have inherited money from a person i dont know are SCAMS I cant believe these crooks are still sending this crap.. Never ever give out any personal info or bank info to anyone claiming they need to verify your information so they can send you your winning. then go to www.scambusters.org and sign up for the newsletter.its a newsletter about internet scams and advice

Whoa! I don't think that is for real. I have lots of email with the same messages. They will ask your information and then will let you pay something for legal fees, etc.. whoa! It's a scam! You beware!

No, this is not true at all. They have been on the tv warning people to watch out for these types of scams. They ask you to send money to them to process the money and that you will get that back, or they will ask for your account numbers and then get all of your hard earned money from the bank. One thing that you can do is just hit the delete button and it be gone. Another thing that you can go is report this to local police and they might look into it if they think that they can get the guy. Sorry. I know how you feel because I have recieved a few of these myself and I was excited too for just a brief moment.

hello Nice, I also receive those kind of emails and I advise you not to believe in it. don't give any of your info. If you do you'll just receive more e-mails like that. If you give your infos you'll just receive mails telling you to join different lotteries from other countries asking you to pay for subscription

I won't say anything new to you. All was already said by previous responses. It's scam. They really are looking for you to tell them your account number. I've received quite a lot of the same stuff and have never answered to them.

i wouldn't count on it. if you haven't entered anything then you're not supposed to win anything either. no company or group or individual in it's sane state of mind would give away that kind of money. just ignore this or investigate further if you want to satisfy your curiosity. never give out any personal info. good luck!

Hi nice03481, please be ware of internet fraud and scam. i tell you i've received more than 100 emails telling me i've won vw golf lottory, some u.k annual lottory and many more. at first i didn't know and was excited filled the form given and contacted the bursury. they asked me to pay some amount in order to transfer the money i refused and this continued until i got to know they're cheats who want money from others. you can continue, they'll ask you to fill a form or give them information and further ask you to contact their claim agent and finally you'll be asked by the bank to pay some amount to tranfer the said money into your account. anyways good luck, maybe yours is different.

It definitely sounds like a scam. I had similiar emails, plus I still get emails talking about I was the beneficiary. Those are scams, I just wonder who sits around and does those scams. How do they find people email addresses. That has amazed me on how they are always talking about a million dollars. So I would be careful before I would do something like that. I would get some one to investigate it for you.

I wouldn't believe it Nice if I were you. I have had and seen lots of mails like that . But none of it was true. Once I heard of a person who tried to contact these people was asked to pay an amount to their bank account first since they had to confirm. He lost that money and verything with that. So please do not contact them or do what they ask you to do. That is not true that they are giving out money simply. They are cheats, please do not believe them.. All the best

I won't believe it if i was you, how can you win without entering a lottery. Three weeks ago i recieved a simple kind of email and searched the internet for the company, i couldn't find anything. So bewise before you start to spend the money, find out if it's real! Good Luck!

It's a scam. i have received a few already. They want your Bank account details, and then steal your hard earned money. It is in any case illegal to accept any money without a lottery ticket. These guys are conmen, watchout.

It's a scam hun, if something appears too good to be true then it usually is far too good to be true.

I already received many emails like that. The sender claims that I won the sweepstakes. I just know it's a scam since I don't play the sweepstakes. Beware of those kind of emails. It is probably a scam. It is a way for collecting sensitive info from you when you reply to them. Be sure not to annoy them when you reply to the one who sent it. From my experience, they send emails with attached viruses when you reply rude with messages.

I'm sorry but I have received emails like that before plenty of times, and they are never true, they are just scams. Sorry, it would be VERY nice if it was true, but it's not. No sense in even getting your hopes up dear, unfortunately.

I wouldn't want to break up your fun, but I'm receiving those kind of emails every day, and never by the same person. If it is really true, I would be multibillionnaire by now!!
